PRINCESS 68
The Princess 68 is a breathtakingly beautiful craft. Her spacious flybridge includes a large sunpad, twin helm and a wetbar for on hand refreshment. On deck she provides ample entertaining space with both cockpit and foredeck seating and an inviting sunbathing area. Out at sea, her exhilarating performance feels light and responsive all the way up to speeds in excess of 30 knots. It’s an altogether distinctive experience.
Inside, her appeal becomes all the more alluring. An aft-galley layout is perfectly placed to serve the cockpit, with triple sliding doors and an electrically opening aft window. Expansive areas of glass allow light to pour into the saloon, with the helm enjoying raised L-shaped seating to port for a more social journey. The master stateroom has a private stairwell and lobby, whilst guests enjoy a separate stairwell and three class-leading cabins.
" It’s hard not to be impressed by the Princess 68’s interior spaces and its performance and handling. "
